Detectives are searching for a “porch pirate” caught on camera stealing and loading stolen items into a U-Haul van in North Lauderdale.
The theft occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 16, near the 6800 block of Doral Street in North Lauderdale, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
Surveillance video of the crime showed a man driving a U-Haul truck and stopping near a victim’s home. The driver exited the van wearing an army green jacket, white shirt, and dark-colored pants, then ran toward the victim’s porch, according to BSO.
At the home, a Ring camera recorded footage of the man collecting the victim’s delivered boxes and running back toward the truck, authorities said. The man is then seen placing the items in the back of the van and leaving the scene.
